And they’ve decided to do this without any kind of strong arming or press ganging at all (honestly – you can ask them). They must have worked out that it’s all just good fun.

Darrin qualifies because he’s almost successfully (well he’s really tried hard anyway) to teach the Cubs how to navigate their way out of a paper bag. Jay qualifies because he’s the biggest fire bug in Caldecote, and is making sure the Scouts follow in his footsteps.

It’s absolutely fantastic news because it adds more depth to our leadership team – it’s exactly what we needed and wanted!

They’re going to be joining the other parents involved in the group:

Jake C (Dad of Oscar) – Committee chair

Lee H (Dad of Sam) – Treasurer

Richard W (Danny, Anna)/ Emma M (Thomas) – Group committee members

Dave H (Henry) – Group Scout leader (with responsibility over all the groups)
